Re: "Elevator Back" & Exercise

[ariela <a_blum@xxxxxxxxxx>]

dear rayilyn,

i'm so sorry my post read to you as criticism of your advise.  believe
me, if i'd thought it might, i would have parsed my words more carefully.

i've meant to tell you this for quite some time:  being an avid reader
of your posts -- and so having an idea of your share of trouble -- i
find your spirit and perseverance positively awe-inspiring.  perhaps
that's why i'd read your advice as you intended it -- the always sound
idea of 'excercise as prevention.'

in fact, it was this part of murray's post that prompted my response:

> What is the "fix"?
> Remember my post last month on "Exercise, What are We
> Waiting For?"...

> What is the "immediate action"?
> I've been horizontal for four days now on some mind
> numbing pain killers and muscle relaxants...
> (finally gettin' lots of sleep)
> Physio on the horizontal plane...
> Walk with crutches to the dr. & to physio...

at any rate, rayilyn, your reports from the front (as it were) are simply
extraordinary and your contributions unsurpassed.

cheers (as murray would say),
ariela

(hope murray's pulling himself together and getting back on line soon!)
